Silent Night
Another X-mas has come and gone.
I have gotten presents; some that I'd wished for, some that were complete surprises but will come very much in handy, and one I didn't feel I quite deserved, but was totally ecstatic to get (still am BTW). There are also some I haven't gotten yet. ♥ ♥
Yesterday my dad drove me home from work. To my surprise, it felt like we were too many people working. Sometimes there was nothing to do! Didn't mean I could go off work any sooner though, but I did sign off five minutes before 5 PM. :P
I was quite tired when I arrived, and my tummy has been acting up quite badly ever since I got here. I haven't eaten anything bad, the problem is, most of December has been incredibly stressful and I've totally neglected both eating and sleeping. I only have myself to blame, obviously, but I hadn't known the ramifications until I got here. Now I suffer from what I call "stress-tummy". It's not good, and pretty painful right now.
Probably didn't help that today started off with a big bag of candy (after a breakfast containing porridge). The X-mas dinner was lovely and to my relief I didn't eat too much. Still, that didn't help my sad tummy, since everything seems to get it in an uproar right now.
Giving gifts was a lot of fun this year and I hope my family really enjoyed their presents.
Here's what I gave them:
To my mom:
Simon and Garfunkel CD-collection, including DVD
"Tre kärlekar" DVD-box ("Three loves" - Swedish drama series)
To my dad:
A new cordless phone
A framed artwork, that I bought at an art exhibit for one of nackrufs' friends
To my brother:
The 2 only seasons of the series "Popular" on DVD
200 SEK
I don't think I'll be able to bring all my gifts back home tomorrow, but my mom thinks she'll be able to stop by with them during the week. Tomorrow I'm going back home to my place, and I have to get in bed really early too, since I start working at 6.30 AM on Wednesday and get off at 6 PM.
While I've been here, my mom and I have taken two of our classic walks around the neighborhood and past my old school and what not. These are walks filled with nostalgia, and I just love going past all the houses with X-mas lights in their windows. It's so still and quiet all around, hardly a single sound and I can't help but wonder what people are doing. What are they eating, what are they giving and receiving, are they happy or are they sad?
Hopefully, all of you have had a very happy X-mas. That's what I wish for for my friends. Happiness. And love. Because you all deserve it. Be it from a boy- or girlfriend, family, or friends.
I wish I could've gotten a few more days off, there is hardly enough time for me to really relax until work starts all over again. Do enjoy your free time if you have any.
Now I'll try to sleep and hope that my tummy aches will lessen during the night.
